Jimmy went downstairs, greeted Charles, and found several burgers and coffees already laid out on the coffee table by the sofa. He hadn't expected Charles to be so reliable as to have prepared breakfast so early.

Charles was also very tired; once he was sure that Jimmy had finished washing up and was awake, he went upstairs to rest as well.

Jimmy sat on the sofa, grabbed a coffee and a burger to stave off his hunger, since it wasn't home, and there was nothing else available. He wasn't picky; having burgers was good enough.

Soon, as it was nearly time to head to work, Jimmy directly called Hughes—Hughes's actions were utterly unscrupulous this time.

Jimmy: "Hughes, last night a six-man squad attacked us."

Hughes: "Yeah, I've already received the report, well done, Jimmy."

Jimmy felt his anger being capped, "Court Police went too far this time—their intelligence was a complete mess, and I even heard they lost a squad and a witness."

Hughes: "Jimmy!... Carry on with the mission, don't talk about that, I trust you can handle it."

Jimmy was startled by Hughes's raised voice, "No, don't get mad at me. OK, I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Jimmy pondered Hughes's words; it seemed like those old men had dug another trap, just unsure who would fall into it this time.

Now Jimmy continuously used the Heart Eye Observation around his surroundings, even though it was daytime, and he hadn't deactivated it; having already eliminated one squad, the remaining options were either they had no one left to continue, they gave up, or they would gather more people and rush them again.

Jimmy didn't keep sitting on the sofa but walked around the room, mainly checking corners and spots sheltered from outside view and gunfire. The previous team had all been carrying pistols, no rifles, no grenades, but if more people came, that might change.

Throughout the afternoon until Charles woke up and took over from Jimmy, the second wave had not arrived.

"Bang"—Jimmy, who was sleeping, was suddenly awakened followed by the shouts, "Ah—Sniper! Jimmy! Jimmy! Take cover!" from Charles. Jimmy got up from the ground; he had been uneasy when he was about to sleep at noon, so he took the blanket, placed it next to the bed on the floor, and slept there.

He first glanced downstairs; Charles was on the floor, writhing while moving towards the corner, it seemed the gunshot had injured him. He looked out the window to make sure no one was around the house, then bent over and walked to the door, opening it and heading downstairs. Dodging all windows and doors, Jimmy ran to Charles, "How are you? Where did you get shot?"

Charles, while in pain, pointed to his leg; a bullet had penetrated his right thigh, fortunately not hitting any bone, but there was a lot of bleeding. "The first aid kit, in my bag. The sniper is toward the right side window."

Jimmy grabbed Charles's bag, pulled out the red first aid kit, and quickly applied a tourniquet, followed by hemostatic powder and a gauze to hastily treat the wound. All the while, he said: "Call an ambulance, and call for backup, let's get you out first."

Stopping the bleeding wasn't like in a game where it's done in seconds; Charles, while on the phone, watched Jimmy work. "Okay, go up to the third floor and check on Big Chin, make sure he stays hidden, quick."

Jimmy nodded. After the emergency treatment, there was nothing more he could do. Rather than staying there under gunpoint, it was better to get moving.

With his Heart Eye Ability, Jimmy knew precisely which parts of the room were out of sight from the outside; he safely reached Big Chin's room, thankful that the shooter couldn't aim directly from the window due to the distance.

Always being wary of an external sniper wasn't right, Jimmy, having secured Big Chin, quickly went downstairs to Charles, "How soon will your people arrive? Have you reminded them?"

Charles's screams had ceased, human endurance is indeed strong; he nodded, "The support squad will be here soon, as long as that sniper is still there, we'll definitely get him."

Jimmy looked at Charles, thinking how unlucky he was. Not a scratch last night, and today he's been shot. He glanced at his watch, 3 PM. "I guess the sniper has already left his position; it's daytime now. Once your people arrive, head to the hospital first, I'll handle things here."

Charles nodded, the blood loss wasn't too severe yet, at least Jimmy's first aid was effective, stopping the bleeding was crucial, cleaning the wound and internal work was up to the doctors.

The sound of an ambulance siren was already in the air, but it wasn't approaching, the distance was somewhat far; Jimmy couldn't tell. "Jimmy, don't worry, our people are probably already out there looking," Charles, watching Jimmy constantly looking outside, said.

Jimmy nodded, no one was approaching the villa, and the closest people were out on the road; that was good news.

A few minutes later, the ambulance arrived at the front gate, a few people in Court Police uniforms carrying guns walked in, and along with the paramedics, they moved Charles out.

Taking advantage of the crowd, Jimmy caught one of the Court Police, "Brother, while you're still here, go buy some food outside, enough for two people for two days."

The Court Police nodded; a few minutes later, he came in with several plastic bags, handing the food to Jimmy. "Sorry, brother, we have to pull out, another spot needs our support, it's a bit far."
